User:Bobbjob
Yet another user page used for nothing but playing games. Violates WP:NOT by using Wikipedia as a webhost. User has very few edits in article space and is likely using Wikipedia as nothing more than a website provider. Kotiwalo (talk) 14:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weakish delete - asserted to be a sandbox page to help learn wikicode, but has been heavily edited this year and user's last mainspace contribution was in November 2008. –xenotalk 15:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Simply calling the pages sandbox doesn't change the fact that this user has had near zero contributions in article space, and isn't learning the Wikicode for anything but this page. Kotiwalo (talk) 15:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Which is why I've voted to delete rather than keep. –xenotalk 17:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. Kotiwalo (talk) 17:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 *  Delete Keep - This is similar to the page, and resulting MFD for User:Superdude2. This user is less active on other WP articles than Superdude2 but also appears to be covering the UK version of the Big Brother show meaning the page does not overlap with Superdude2's page.


 * The item that made this a delete vs. the keep for Superdude2's page is the notice "This is my own User Page. I use this as my own sandbox." Is the wording intended to discourage others from editing the page? If so, it's WP:OWN of what looks like an article in development as it's clear the edits are far beyond sandbox testing of WP editing or other WP related activity. If the user genuinely does not want others messing with "his" page then I'd call it abuse of WP as a webhost. If the notice was not there, or is replaced by one indicating Bobbjob is developing a WP article then I'd make this a keep as the user is then demonstrating a use that is "compatible with the Wikipedia project" per WP:USER. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 05:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd like to point out that the article is fictional. It's not an official Big Brother season, and is most likely a fan game of some group. It will never become an article because of this. It's a clear WP:WEBHOST case. Kotiwalo (talk) 07:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I had not realized the entire thing was fictional. Here's some test results that seem to confirm this:
 * There seem to be no links to this page from outside WP.
 * There do not seem to be any game related links to the page from inside WP.Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Bobbjob
 * The page does not seem to be related to anything else on the Internet. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 02:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep. While the pages are not "presenting information relevant to working on the encyclopedia" per WP:NOTWEBHOST as I would much rather the user voluntarily move the pages to another site or modify them to be relevant to working on the encyclopedia. I've sent an e-mail inviting the user to this discussion as it's entirely possible he or she is not aware of the MFD nor of WP:NOTWEBHOST. WP:EM is important to me. I see a userspace MFD as one of the tools available should a user demonstrate they are unwilling to work with the Wikipedia community. --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 08:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete same rationale as Superdude... userspace isn't for extensive original material that isn't related to the encyclopedia in any way. Gigs (talk) 04:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Nothing here warrants deletion. Rafe34 (talk) 21:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, see WP:WEBHOST. The user is under notice that deletion is being considered for the page, and therefore has enough time to move it somewhere else. Stifle (talk) 11:47, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Similar to the Superdude page (infra). This page is not compatible with our project; therefore it violates our userpage guideline. Lazulilasher (talk) 02:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
